ROM Manager premium

I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the premium rom manager. I've been loving on some skyraider for a long time but I keep hearing about miui roms. Any suggestions?

i wont go premium until they fix it for HTC Incredible. When using ROM manager, after installing a ROM from the app and going in to recover autmatically(it gives you this option after the inital download) after the download it wont install automatically. I have to go toggle the the security(or whatever its called)disable and then download from sd card and look for ROM manually. I have reported to the deveolper but never no responce. But I would love to use the ROM manager how its supposed to be. If it loads the ROMS for you automatically I would suggest on buying. Great App!

I've been using it on my dinc with absolutely no problems. I've used it to flash more roms than I care to think of. I don't know why you're having trouble.
OP: Support the developer, I got premium.

I guess my real question is is the miui rom worth paying for rom manager?

Same here. Other than Clockwork Mod having issues since I have a new SLCD Dinc (for which there are fixes) the app works flawlessly. I bought it if only to support the developer.

I used MIUI for a day and wasn't all that impressed. Yeah, it was flashy and shiney and new, but once that wore off, it wasn't anything special in my opinion. Went back to SkyRaider.

Its worth it if you like how the roms look i like them and ive never had a single issue

Besides miui and cm nightlies what other benefits are there from going from free to premium?

I do agree that supporting the Dev is nice and that's why I don't use the ad free app.

Doesn't it let you install from SD too or something?? I kinda of went premium aright away
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

ROM manager is a life saver for me, i have had zero issues as well. bought it to not only support the dev but because it's just an essential app for any ROM flasher.
i use adfree because i dont like apps that send personal information to ad agencies. it's a privacy issue for me. i buy apps if there is a version available.

Can't you just download the roms yourself and flash via recovery? That's what I do....never have to use rom manager unless I want to fix permissions or something.

Rom manager premium is a great app. Way too many benefits like "Fix permissions".
Costs lesser than the value of the time you have spent trying to figure it out. Seriously!

Well worth it!
Install ROM from SD Card
Download ROM
Check for ROM Updates
Install from QR Code
Manage and Restore Backups...
- Restore
- Rename
- Delete
Backup Current ROM
Fix Permissions
and more!

I bought it to support the developer first, but it has been a great lifesaver. On the other issues you brought up:
- Works fine on my Incredible, all the features with no issues
- MIUI Rom looks beautiful, but works only ok. I was running into all sorts of different issues, not the least of which being file locations and then it did something to my SD card that caused about 4 hours of rework. Fortunately I have been flashing since my Windows Mobile days and am finally smart enough to keep a full backup of everything I really need. I will say that it seems to run the fastest and in the smallest footprint though.
- I agree with the GamerZ, I went back to SkyRaider as usual. Rock solid and stable.

congratulations..the app it self is fine no problems with downloading or anything. Its just rebooting in to recovery. It never installs automatically. I always have to manually wipe and clear data/cache and install from sdcard..until thats fixed for MY phone ill stay on the free app

That's to bad it doesn't work for you.
Works fine for me with most ROMs.
Currently running Skyraider3.3.3 and it works fine. When I upgraded from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 I downloaded the ROM with ROM Manager and was given 2 options:
1. Backup Current ROM
2. Wipe (can't remember the exact words in the menu)
When the ROM was Downloaded there was an icon in the notification bar, I clicked on it and it said "Download Complete". I clicked on the notification and my phone rebooted into recovery, done a backup - installed the ROM and rebooted my phone.
All with no user interaction other than clicking the notification to start the process.
I have had other ROMs that when I try the same thing it will not reboot to recovery. I have to manually reboot recovery (I usually do it from a command prompt) then it will start the install.
On those ROMs selecting "Reboot into Recovery" didn't work either.
I have used it enough that I think different ROMs handle this differently.

I've never had any problems with rom manager. I always download my roms here on xda (like miui, for example) and flash them through rom manager, though.
Premium didn't really have anything I needed, but I got it anyway because koush is awesome.

Was this meant to work on Stock Roms, installed via Clockwork Recovery?
I've tried both B160 and B138, both crash on startup... Everything force closes, messaging, market, ril, everything...

This has been answered several times in the last week. The search works. READ in the development section which ROMs updated recently with the new kernel like the stock one with Heimdall in the title, ACS v6, or grab ANY ROM there and flash Nubernel on it.

may the stockish build6..

Before you apply the following theme, that installs lockscreenmods amongst other really cool items (reboot, recovery, etc), download the .zip to your machine and open the .zip and remove the /system/apps/phone.apk from it before flashing to your phone:

With everything above, I have a stable GB ROM with no reboots and no FC on phone calls ending. Battery life has been slightly better than SFR 1.2 and I use this as my daily driver with 0 issues (other than some lock screens showing erroneous battery details, but if that's the only thing so far then so be it).

[ROM][BETA] cTouch Project - No Phone, Just Captivate.

cTouch
By Sepherian
No Phone, Just Captivate
Info: I have removed most of the phone files from the following ROM(s) to turn them basically into a cTouch (captivateTouch)
Phone Files I have Removed: Phone, Messaging, Modem, and any Icons related to a signal has been degraded to ONE pixel. Looks pretty goood.
Directions to flash:
1: NANDROID BACKUP
2: Download your ROM to your SD Card
3: Reboot into recovery, wipe data + cache
4: Install the rom
5: If Rom bootloops retry step 4
6: Prophet?
How I will be updating:
I will evolve the method I use to edit and Build these ROM(s) over time. So they will be labeled by V2 or V3, and the name of the rom will remain the same.
Also, the ROM(s) will update shortly after the developer updates it. (About a week or so)
CM9 and 10 (if they end up being supported) will be updated when I feel like it.
Rom(s) Built so far: (Please read all three posts before downloading)
Superbean 2.8.17 Built by Nygfan760 Download: Click here
If you donate to me, put your xda name and a rom you would like cTouch-inized in the memo and I will put it at the top of my list to finish (even before updates)​

Fixes:
For ALL:
Apply Airplane mode AT ALL TIMES. If it is on you should see a little CT in your notification bar. If it is off, your antenna will be on and wasting your battery. For no reason because you don't want this phone as a phone.
Bugs:
For SuperBean:
If you go to Mobile Network settings, the application will crash. This will happen if you long-press airplane or data toggles because those settings are under Mobile Data

And again...

First!

EDIT: There will be an update coming soon if all goes well. If all does not go well, I'll add another ROM to the Ctouch project instead. Any suggestions?

Works pretty well, although the phone app still exists. There are force closes from phone storage on boot. I was going to install titanium but there is no play store. Not very useful without it. I will try grabbing the latest jellybean gapps and pull the play store from that.
----------
Edit: pulled latest gapps for jb from cm wiki. Installed PhoneSky.apk and play store works like a charm. Why in the hell is it called PhoneSky? Backed up, froze, and un installed phone/messaging storage and have no more force closes from it. Did the same to Guard since it handles call and sms blocking, and also com.android.smspush. Everything is working well, going to figure out how to get rid of the phone app now.
----------
Edit 2: As I'm sure you've already figured out, the Phone "app" is just an intent sent to the Contacts app, and I don't think removing contacts would be a good idea...I did find this though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5812909/removing-android-phone-app

If this ROM is based off of MIUI.... perhaps just CM10/AOKP with no phone functions? I'm looking to turn my phone into a mini tablet/music player for my brother when i get a new phone.

This looks very promising. We should have this thread be a central location to report tweaks that do/do not work all that well with our Epics.
HDPI it is.

Great find, some tweaks worked for me and others did not. I'm not seeing any difference in music performance after flashing the sony walkman tweaks.

Yeah I found it on youtube by some dev called smokey droid I think. He also had a video about free magic jack that doesn't use your minutes in the google play store. Anyone that can see tweaks or mods that don't work just let us know in the thread or pm me and I will get it in the op. Thanks guys

In the GUI a lot of stuff didn't show up such as themes inverted Google apps etc.... But I can say which is funny I use the battery saving mod and when my phone turns back on its at 1% it was at 42% don't know how it dropped 41%.
Sent from your phone.....turn around.....

So, I'm not sure of the culprit yet, but I enabled
all of the Init.d tweaks
all of the build.prop tweaks
Enabled some of the "features" (Enable hardware video acceleration, Disable Android logger, JIT for dalvik, disable usage-sending)
tweaked the Multitasking settings (Medium, Medium, 128, yes, yes)
Replaced GPS file
Enabled all Speed & Stability Settings
Now my device wont boot. Not sure if it matters, but I had flashed the new gapps in the same CWM session. If I figure out the offending tweak, I'll let you know. My boot posts with the splash screen and the loading bar, and never reaches my boot animation and hangs on a black screen with softkeys & keyboard lit (when slid out).
I'm running CM10 Nightly 1010 with NexusModemAIO patch & didhy's nitest kernel.

Installed and went through fine. But didn't install the Sony Walkman app or stay awake. Have tried installing the Walkman app through root explorer didn't work that way either. Is it just something to do with cm10? Running cm10 nightly 1014

Did you do a clean install including dalvic cache and factory reset? Also there are aosp custom android versions you can click and stock versions you can select. Did you download the HDPI zip in the op, one more thing I did a full wipe and installed cm10 along with gapps and nitestkernel with ns4g roam fix, and didn't reboot right when it was done but went to the main menu in cwm then rebooted. Maybe try that

Just did a few tweaks, WiFi , touchscreen, battery. The battery hasn't changed any was at 100% before and after I rebooted was at 35% and drained ridiculously. But WiFi seems better can go outside and stay connected a little better, and I guess I'm on stock 2012101014 haven't flashed any custom kernels or modems just flashed cm10 nightly and 7/26 black gapps. New on this phone lol, and had gotten Walkman to install from here but would constantly close no errors though. Also before flashing Aroma I wiped cache/ dalvik cache. Hope this helped
Edit: after clean install factory reset, caches wiped flashed ROM and gapps , tried same tweaks and apps the semc albums app was installed but no Walkman , if you could post flashable zip would appreciate , just like it better than Apollo music thanks

I tried touchwiz gb but not cm7 yet and I can confirm the wifi tweak doesn't work and another big big thing is wipe dalvic cache and all the cache. It may freeze at around 14% complete just do a battery pull and go again. I am currently running the latest Kang Jellybean and literally did all the tweaks and it has been running flawless and battery life is great along with data speeds so maybe try that guys. I didn't write these mods just found them in xda so we can all learn together. Thanks epic dudes I love this phone! Lol

Also there is a great program on marketplace that fixes issues with downloads called download all files it usually is only needed on tw but another issue may be the free space you have so possibly delete unused files that may be encumbering your epic that might fix it too

Not sure why this fixes it, but it did. Thanks buddy!

My rom has random reboots after I used this, it sucks in my opinion, only think that might have improved is the wifi/data tweaks. Battery life is the same, i didn't even mess with ram or kernel, everything was running fine, I was dumb to install it in the first place, but I hope others have improved performance with it.
